what color were the first SBCs

SoCal, I'm sorry, I can't tell you the origin of the generator bracket on my 265 -- it was on it when I got the engine. It's not much use, though, as it has very little range of adjustment.

 

Actually the POR-15 Manifold Gray is very reasonably priced, I bought a $26 pint and used way less than half of it to do my manifolds.

No problem 50fraud, I figured I was going to have to make something up. Most of the ones I've seen from the late 50s and 60s were welded onto the header somehow. The heads are staggered hole so there's no holes drilled in the front like the `69 and later ones.

 

SBC early colors seem to not be defined very well.
